So, we've arrived at Balintraid safe and sound. We made good time, many of the roads seem to have been recently surfaced and are lovely and smooth (it's interesting what you find yourself being grateful for). Weather today has been kind :) Altogether much more cheering. The hostel here is a lovely house, with great facilities. But they've put us in a dorm room with another group which is a) noisy, and b) mixed. There are boys! We wouldn't mind so much, except we weren't asked if we minded. Hmm. Perhaps we're being too British and uptight about it. It is a lovely place, though the people we met at Helmsdale were nicer :) the tip Beth was given to help stabilise the bike at speed (knee on the crossbar, if anyone's interested) seems to be helping a bit, though leads to slightly odd riding position.
[ETA: the house here has chickens including a beautiful little bantam chick. That's why the title.]
